Is this something that happened in batman returns? Is there a part in the film when batman sleeps upside down just like a bat?
Because i wouldn't be suprised if that actually happened, because tim burton seemed like he understood not too much about the character of batman.

That's the '89 film. I heard there was going to be a scene like that in Returns, but Burton cut it because it featured the character Batman.

Yeah, that was in the 1989 film. Vicky wakes up and finds Bruce sleeping upside down. Now, that you bring it up, it does feel like an odd inclusion to Bruce Wayne's character that likely never appeared in the comics. Even Tim Burton incorporated the whole "nine lives" thing into Catwoman.

I watched the first 2 Batman movies when I was a kid, before I had any knowledge of what these characters actually are in the comics. I am still very much a fan of Batman Returns though. I even prefer it to 1989 movies, because of how Tim Burton the movie is. It is like this bizarre hybrid of Batman and Tim Burton's mind.

Never has the character appeared so sinister (and yet oddly tragic). DeVito's finest performance. Returns was also my childhood favourite, even if it is less conventionally "Batman".

Well I think Burton himself admitted he initially wasn’t really into comic books when he directed the first Batman. Found it:
"I was never a giant comic book fan, but I've always loved the image of Batman and the Joker. The reason I've never been a comic book fan – and I think it started when I was a child – is because I could never tell which box I was supposed to read. I don't know if it was dyslexia or whatever, but that's why I loved The Killing Joke, because for the first time I could tell which one to read. It's my favorite. It's the first comic I've ever loved. And the success of those graphic novels made our ideas more acceptable."

Surprised about the negative responses. Both of these Batmans strike me as Burton’s equivalents to James Whale’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, right down to the cheery flamboyance and biblical symbolism. As with Whale and Bride, Burton didn’t want to do the sequel and only did when he was given carte blanche—and I love both Bride and Returns exactly for their extremely personal directorial visions.

Well that comparison makes sense. And also didn't Burton think of Catwoman in terms of being a Frankenstein's monster-like character?

Wait, so going by this analogy, Edward Scissorhands is Burton's Invisible Man.

I’m not sure I’d take it that far, either, as Burton’s and Whale’s careers don’t generally parallel each other. In the Frankenstein/ Batman case, though, the parallels are striking, and I’d be surprised if Burton didn’t consciously echo Bride for Returns.

Richard Gere did that in "American Gigolo". It's an exercise.
The Burton Batmovies are wonderful. Two masterpieces.

He wasn't sleeping, he was doing it as an exercise (like Mutant 77 said). Many people do that.
